Abstract excerpt
Eighteen polymorphic microsatellite loci and 11 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped in 1,095 individual Hessian fly specimens representing 23 populations from North America, southern Europe, and southwest Asia. The genotypes were used to assess genetic diversity and interrelationship of Hessian fly populations. While phylogenetic analysis indicates that the American populations most similar to Eurasian...
